I’ve had fabric for awhile to make reusable grocery bags and just never got around to it until I saw this challenge and it spurred me to make my first one.
… I’m hoping it fits the guidelines (fibre or textile) but if it doesn’t then I’ll withdraw the entry …
I think it looks really good. One time I made a bag like this with sides I thought too “floppy”, I fixed them by adding strong snaps to keep the folded insidey side bits folded inside. Worked great.
Love the fabric! And that looks like a good size - big enough to hold a lot but not too big to carry when it’s full.
I wonder if the floppy side issue couldn’t be helped by sewing a very narrow topstitch across the corner seams, so they want to fold in rather than out.
I don’t know if that made any sense. Maybe a drawing will make it clearer:
I’ve also found it helpful to sew the straps onto the outside, just slightly below the top edge, so they want to fall away from the opening rather than into it as you’re trying to load the bag. Things to consider for the second one.
